Team Fortress 2's player count doubles after fan pressure sees Valve step in with a bot-demolishing banwave and a firm line on appeals: 'No'
  • 25 freaking years?! I need a nap. Jesus Christ. This hurts. That was the game of my senior year. Now, thanks to your post not only does my body hurt, my soul hurts as well.

    I'm gonna go lie down. Fucking hell.

  • [Noah Caldwell-Gervais ] All the RAGE: A Franchise Retrospective
  • This is my exact review on Steam. What a shit show.

  • What "unique" or single-game-genre games have you enjoyed?
  • Ex-Zodiac is pretty decent as a tribute. There's something missing in the presentation though. Opening steam and launching it while using an Xbox controller isnt quite the same vibe as dropping in a cartridge and being tethered to that soap bar brick of a SNES controller.

    As a tribute though, gameplay wise, it's pretty good.

  • Pioneering internet messenger ICQ shuts after 28 years - CNA
  • Man, I don't know honestly. I believe i first saw / read it on IRC in the 90's...

    and now I'm turning to dust. haha

    Thanks for being social!!!

  • "Wow, how cool is it that she's 13 and already works for the FBI! "

  • Steam: Now that we're past the summer solstice, it's time for us to announce the Steam Summer Sale! Starting this Thursday at 10am
  • I'll throw a caveat on certain things that get delisted...this is my biggest poison on Steam. Just grabbed Forza Horizon 4 because of its announced delisting in December.

    Otherwise tbough, solid advice!

  • LAN bypass on Linux
  • Sweet. Thanks! A quick update and verification on routing and all is working. Appreciate the assistance.

  • I'm Not a Programmer, but Here’s Why Linux Is My Daily Driver
  • I am so, so close to doing the same. Still have a small partition carved out for CoD and Windows. I just find myself booting in to it less and less.

    Thank goodness MicroVision seems to be keen on continuing to flog that dead horse with a Warzone focus, means I can finally be free.

  • LAN bypass on Linux

    Hi all,

    Is there a conf change I can make to bypass local address filtering with ProtonVPN on Linux? When I attempt to access NFS and SMB shares on LAN they fail to connect with Proton active.

    Thanks!

    How Does Our Sense of Humor Change With Age? A Statistical Analysis
  • I find my sense of humor has become broader with age. Its also tinged with (surprisingly) less cynicism but more darkness.

    I think laughter is one of the weirdest mechanisms for coping. I laugh when kids get killed in movies, my partner laughs when something causes physical pain.

    When it comes to comedy itself, I have less tolerance for the Joe Rogan crew of comedians (Segura, Kreischer, that lot) as well as Chapelle it just feels like exhausting space filler. There's no humor left in it, its just out of touch, rich dudes rambling between punchlines.

    That said, I find Bill Hicks as brilliant now as I did as an angsty teen. True comedy (shout out to Carlin, Pryor, and Bruce too) transcends age. Its found in human suffering, which we only accumulate more of with age. Not in tired jokes about gender equality, rich problems, and a discontempt for your audience.

  • GreedFall 2 is setting its sights high, hitting all the CRPG tropes at once
  • I've been slowly playing through the first one. Its a pretty decent game. There's some unique stuff they're doing lore/world wise. The combat could be tighter and the waypointing could use some work but there's a great core and lore. This could be Spiders breakout game.

  • Old but Gold
  • Haha. Sounds like you have great taste. We had tickets for that 2020 tour as well and had a similar experience. Damn greedy corpos.

  • Old but Gold
  • On yeah! Saw Devy solo with Gojira 12 or so years ago and he was hilarious. Had the whole crowd doing jazz hands during Animals among other things.

    I didn't get it the first time I saw SYL (with Fear Factory forever ago) but at that solo show I was all in and have been a huge fan since.

  • Old but Gold
  • Fucking a it is!

  • Old but Gold
  • Haha. His humor live is always so damn good. Seeing the entire outro would be rad!

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • Thanks for the rec! Typing on it now. Pretty decent so far. I dig the hover on the word as i swipe

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • Also posting from a Pixel 7 running Graphene for abouta year. No issues, I use Fdroid for most apps and Aurora when I have too. Only bummer is I haven't found a good FOSS keyboard with swipe. Really miss gboard for that and gif insertion.

  • Old but Gold
  • Damnation/Deliverance is such an amazing combo. The outro to Deliverance is probably my favorite of all time. That back and forth between the 2 riffs is fucking magic.
